Coastal Lights Bid Good Night to Kids at Children's Hospital
There may be many days that are tough for kids in the hospital, but for kids at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, the day ends with a bright beacon of hope. Since 2008, at 8:30pm each evening, hotels, yacht clubs, police cruisers, restaurants, and tugboats flicker their lights off and on to participate in the Good Night Lights display. Children are invited to respond by shining flashlights down to the coastal community. This gives children in the hospital the warmth of knowing that they are loved and cared for and it allows the community to have the opportunity to cheer up children who are in a time of need.
